Cassie and Her Bad Boy Alpha

Chapter 9

After the party had died down Tommy, Cassie, Sherry, and Jerry made their way up to the office. Cassie was terrified as to what was going to happen while everyone else was calm and collect. When they got to the office Jerry entered first and then ushered them all inside. Jerry sat on the sofa next to Sherry while Tommy took a seat behind the desk Cassie stood by the door until Tommy pointed to a chair next to him for her to sit. As she sat down she noticed both of Tommy’s parents where staring at her waiting for some answer. She looked toward Tommy to see if he would be of any help but he just looked at her, it wasn’t his story to tell it was hers.

She cleared her throat and began to speak, her voice was shaky at first but got stronger as she spoke. “I know I owe you an explanation I guess.” she started off “it started on Friday when school had started, Carol was giving me a hard time and I ended up punching her, Tommy drug me out of the cafeteria and I slapped him for it. He tried to explain but I kissed him and told him he talked to much. He then took me and lead me away to privately talk and that is when he told me about being his mate, granted he left out the Alpha and Luna part. I told him I needed time as my last relationship didn't end well so we started hanging out more. One weekend we went on a picnic when he noticed a rouge wolf so he asked him what the wolf was doing there. He was looking for his lost human daughter, he was a werewolf and his mate was human. Well when Tommy came back the other wolf followed and claimed I was his missing daughter. I passed out and they had a DNA test done and I was this mans missing daughter. Steven, my father was out with the pack and when he came home he found my mother, Scooter dead and I was gone. He had looked for me for 17 years when he found me. Now apparently I have wolf strength and my eyes turn black but we are not sure if I will gain a wolf or not because I am only 17.” she took a breath and continued “I ended up here because my “brother” and my ex are friends and tried to keep me at the house with them. They even went as far as following us when we left my best friend, Sarah’s house. Tommy brought me here to keep me safe until we know the full extent of my wolfy powers” as she finished she looked over at Tommy who just nodded in agreement with everything she said. She dared a glance at Jerry and Sherry to see their reaction but the both looked stunned.

“That is impossible” Jerry said. Sherry looked at her husband and confirmed what Cassie had told them was true “but that would make her the only known human/wolf hybrid in the last 500 years. Packs talked about you how your father was the beta to Green Lake Pack but left his duty after he found his mate dead and daughter missing. They said he went blood blind at first and wouldn’t give up searching for his daughter even though he was told she was dead.” Jerry exclaimed as he rose from the sofa he was sitting on. Everyone was shocked by his out burst. Cassie didn't know what to say, Sherry looked at her like she had seen a ghost and Tommy looked at his father like he had lost his mind. After Jerry finally sat down Sherry spoke “My dear, sweet, Cassandra” she said with tears in her eyes, Cassie looked at her confused “you wouldn't remember but your mother and I were best friends, I was appointed as your god mother. I was devastated when I had heard what had happened and here you were right under my nose the entire time” Sherry got up and wrapped Cassie in a suffocating hug. They both cried for a few minutes. Tommy was still trying to comprehend what just happened.

There was no way that his Cassie was the same little girl that his mother kept a picture of in a locket. There must be some other explanation. Not only had fate given him a mate but brought Cassie home to the only family she had left. He was in shock. He needed to call Cassie's father and let him know the good news. He was sure Steven would like to know that Cassie found her god mother. Tommy might even make him a member of the pack just so he can be close to his daughter again.

As the tears and hugs continued Tommy asked to speak with his father in private. He wanted to know everything there was to know about human/wolf hybrids and his father had access to all of those records. As they stepped out into the hallway Tommy ran his hand through his hair and looked at his father. “I don't think I have ever seen mom this happy” Tommy said “this is the third happiest day of her life next to her wedding day and having you” his father replied. “Dad, I need to know everything about the human/wolf hybrids. I know you have those records under lock and key. This is my mate and future Luna we are talking about and I need to know why she was taken” Jerry shook his head as he understood his sons concerns. He handed Tommy the key to a compartment in the library. He then instructed him that in the compartment was the information he was looking for. He also warned Tommy that he may not like what he found. Tommy didn't care he needed to know what his mate was and if she was in any danger.

Tommy peaked his head back into the office and saw two tear stained faces looking back at him. It was now almost midnight and he knew Cassie had to be tired. “Mom, I hate to break up this reunion but can you continue it another time its getting late and I know Cassie has had an eventful couple of days” his mother nodded as she looked at Cassie “we will finish our talk tomorrow” Cassie nodded. She then followed Tommy up to their room. As they were getting ready for bed Tommy handed Cassie one of his shirts, she looked at it and just smiled as she put it on. She then climbed into bed and put her head on Tommy’s chest. She had fallen asleep listening to his heart beat. Tommy on the other hand was wide awake. He was playing with Cassie's hair when he noticed she had fallen asleep. He waited a few minutes to make sure she was really out and slowly got out of bed. Jasper wined as he wanted to spend the night in his mates arms but he knew what had to be done.

Slowly, Tommy made his way out of the bedroom and made his way to the library and found the compartment his father was talking about. When he opened it he found a book covered in dust. He blew the dust off and ended in a coughing fit. He then opened the book and skimmed through the pages until he found what he was looking for. There were several pages about the human/wolf hybrids and they all said the same thing, once a hybrid turns 18 if they do not show they have a wolf by the fall moon then they will die. It didn’t look good for Cassie. He continued reading, it also said that if the human started showing signs of wolf strength then there was a slim chance they would survive with out their wolf form. Tommy had read enough, he knew that Cassie's birthday was next week and the fall moon was a few days after that. He didn’t like the odds that were stacked against them. He just found his mate and now he was going to lose her. Both him and Jasper agreed that that was not going to happen.

 After trying to find something that was good news and coming up empty he headed back to his room. Thankfully Cassie was still asleep and sleeping soundly as Tommy crawled in next to her. He wrapped his arms around her as tight as he could without waking her up. He promised himself that he would find a scenario where she survived and would be with him for a long time, even if he had to kill every person that got in his way.
